Presenting Clearly

Aligned to SL.6.4 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

What this lesson teaches

A good presentation puts claims and findings in a logical order with details that support each point, and it's delivered well — eye contact, clear volume, and careful pronunciation keep the audience with you.

Worked example

Reporting on recycling: state the finding, give the numbers, then the example, in that order — not jumbled. Delivered while looking up at listeners and speaking clearly, the same content lands far better than mumbling at your notes.

Practice questions

  1. Outline a short talk with your main point first and two supporting details.
  2. Practice it once aloud, focusing on clear volume and pronunciation.
  3. Deliver it to someone while making eye contact, then ask what was clearest.

Presentar con Claridad

Una buena presentacion ordena las afirmaciones y los hallazgos de forma logica, con detalles que apoyan cada punto, y se expone bien — el contacto visual, un volumen claro y una pronunciacion cuidada mantienen contigo al publico.

Ejemplo: Al informar sobre el reciclaje: primero el hallazgo, luego los numeros y despues el ejemplo, en ese orden — no revuelto. Expuesto mirando al publico y hablando con claridad, el mismo contenido llega mucho mejor que si lo murmuras viendo tus notas.
